I never said I enjoyed them... 8-)

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, I was "Director of IT" for a medium
sized business where emails and texts were the norm.

I absolutely hated it. With a passion.

I would be constantly CC'd on absolute nonsense... Or people would write me
novels when one-sentence replies would've been better, or writing paragraphs
to say absolutely nothing... that still happens to me in Fidonet sometimes.

But really... My role wasn't of that much importance. The only thing that I
"directed" was to the CEO to please don't spill wine on your laptop; these
gadgets cost us money... And to please not text me while drunk, I will not
respond to BS, infact I had shut off ALL text/email notifications on my cell.

Yes the company made a stink about it, but got the message, so to speak.
